The EAMC Gymkhana is run as a team’s event; traditionally Harley verses
Indian. While other makes of bikes are welcome to attend they will be
classified as “other junk” and divided equally between the teams.

Both teams will have access to one pocket rocket to use at their discretion.

All participants must fill in a waiver exempting any liability from the
EAMC or the marshals and officials prior to competing.

All events are designed for older machines with foot clutches with an
emphasis on bike control rather than speed; hand clutch machines can compete

(although the riders will be mercilessly berated or deemed gay) but will have
very little advantage because of the design of the course and events.

Bribing of marshals and officials is frowned upon, but will be
overlooked if done discreetly. Monetary bribes are welcome ($10 will buy one
point) and all proceeds will go into club funds.

Visually and verbally distracting the other teams is encouraged however
bad language is not (one point penalty) and any throwing of cans or projectiles
at the other team will not be tolerated and will result in a 1 point penalty.

Team Events

Flag race

This is a team event with two lanes and two equally
numbered teams. One rider at a time from each team starts at the end of their
allotted lane and weaves through the cones to the far end of the lane. At the
end of the lane is a container on the ground with a flag in it. The rider picks
up the flag and weaves back through the course to the start and passes the flag
to the next rider. This rider runs through the course and replaces the flag and
returns to the start. This process continues until the whole team has completed
the course.

If a rider forgets to pickup or replace the flag he
must rerun the course.

The winners are the team that has all riders through
with the fastest time.

If a cone is knocked over the rider must stop and
stand it up again. The run time will not be logged until all cones are
standing.

Le Mans Start Slalom Sprint

Two teams in two lanes. When the flag drops the riders
must run to their bike, start it,ride the course while weaving between the
cones around the top cone and sprint (straight line) back. Once across the line
the next rider runs to his bike, starts it and completes the course. The event
is over when all team members have completed the course. If a cone is knocked
over the rider must stop and stand it up again. The run time will not be logged
until all cones are standing.

Ball kick

The teams are divided into two; half of the team at
each end of the course.

The riders ride the course kicking the ball from one end
of the course to the other. The ball must not leave the allotted lane or the
rider must get off the bike and retrieve the ball, put it back in the lane and
restart.

The next rider can not start until the ball crosses
the line.

The contest continues until all team members have run
the course.

Back Seat Rider

Two teams with two riders (on foot) at a time (timed
event).

The leader is blind folded and directed (a tap on the
left or right shoulder) by the back seat rider, The two man teams must traverse
the slalom course (up and back), the next group can not start until the first
team has crossed the finish line and passed on the handlebars. One point will
be lost for every cone that is touched.

Points for each team will be accumulated over the day.
Winners from the individual events can allocate their points to whichever team
they prefer, otherwise the points will be allocated based on the brand of
machine the winner rides. The winner is the team with the highest points score.
Prizes include a pricless engraved trophy to be held until next year’s gymkhana
and bragging rights for the year.
